    In UK English this would be expressed as "Entry is completely free"

      Or more succinctly "Free entry"

        This is also valid in American. In fact, the prototype answer given is not grammatical English.

        Yes, I was marked wrong for this. The translation given is wrong as it means that there is no physical obstruction rather than costing nothing

          "admission" should also be accepted

            'Admission' should definitely be accepted here

              I agree. "Free admission" is what we usually say instead of "free entry."

                Yes, and not so easy to missunderstand.

                  "Admission" sounds more natural to me than "Entrance"

                        Or "Entrance is completely free"

                          NO ONE says this. Unless they are SELLING an entrance.

                          I changed my answer from 'admission' (fee implied); to 'entry' after checking the 'hover'. Now -- problem: if the entry or entrance is free, does it mean free of obstacles or encumbrances?? One can get through without physical difficulties?

                            In this case, where the phrase is "The entrance is completely free," or "L'entrata è completamente gratuita," free means without price. The word for free of obstacles is something closer to libero or libera.
